Legal Obligations:

 

The cabinet of the Bangladesh Government approved proposals for a law to lead the multi-level marketing (MLM) business in the country. According to the proposed MLM Control Act 2012, any person or organization has to obtain a license to run such businesses.

The law has a provision for three to five years jail and a maximum of Tk 50 lakh fine for not having a license or forgery in business. Moreover, if anyone is found guilty of cheating people in the name of MLM business, he/she will be sentenced to one to five years in jail and will have to give those people double the money, which has been exchanged, in compensation. 

 

Past Error In MLM Business in Bangladesh:

 

However, in some cases, Destiny-2000 Ltd, Uni Pay2, and other companies were performing in a way that did not match their social image and those sectors need extra attention. It needs to maintain its accounts receivables and payables more consistently and accountability from the governmental Perspective. Their marketing strategy is different from the other MLM companies in the world.

Their marketing strategy was not very strong and unique and they have an inefficient and dishonest management system. They should ensure a proper payment system through the banking channel for the swift payment of their Distributors and should appoint additional distributors to fill the additional target market.

Additionally, they should ensure product availability & introduce more delivery sites all over the country and might consider re-adjusting with the local market price to gain local market share over the existing leader. The company needs to capture the industrial project segment of the market because right now it is one of the growing sectors where the MLM demand is high.

Furthermore, It should conduct different seminars with efficient trainers, consultants, and government officials to make them aware of the proper and genuine MLM Business. It should communicate with the government to establish the principles and constitutions of MLM. They should develop effective and informative Websites to inform all information regarding Destiny Business.

Moreover, the Government has no specific focus on MLM in Destiny Business which is why people are non-reliable on Destiny Business. There are no specific rules and regulations regarding MLM from the government. This is the main obstacle. Companies like Unipay2u and Destiny 2000 got away easily, due to the loopholes in the law.

 

Strict Law Applied for Doing Genuine MLM Business :

 

After massive allegations of cheating people by companies, millions of Bangladeshis lost their hard-earned money to fraudulent companies. The Ministry of Commerce, Bangladesh, is all set to form a strict all in the coming months. In the future, all companies will come under tough monitoring.

The MLM companies should not be engaged in 21 types of businesses including those of land, flats, shops, office space, insurance, leasing, cooperatives, trees, and lotteries.

If the license of a company is suspended and it is found operating a business or engaged in the sales of products, the government will freeze the company’s bank accounts as per the recommendation of the High Court.

Sale of any imaginary product, tangible assets like trees, apartments, etc, any kind of bonus scheme, collection or disbursement of funds by instalment or savings, lottery ticket selling, and trading of gold/platinum/bronze are remarkable fields where the MLM companies would not be allowed to do business.

Furthermore, the secretary will have the power to suspend the licenses of the MLM companies and halt their business if they are caught on charges of any wrongdoing.

The MLM companies will be allowed to pursue businesses under electronic marketing, pyramid selling schemes, networking marketing, telemarketing, door-to-door sales, and mail-order sales.

If any company bypasses any provision of the act, they will be penalized and the board of directors of the company will face a jail sentence. Additionally, the MLM companies also will have to be enlisted with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) as any other company in Bangladesh.

Conclusion:

 

If we are looking for great MLM companies, it is very important to choose which one we want to work with. Additionally, which one sounds better than the other and one must be aware that many of them sound too good to be true. 

The social impacts on those in the industry have thrown up some attractive results in terms of the very positive attitude toward the direct selling industry held by members of the independent sales force.

While most had seen development in lifestyle and in extra income, clearly the most compelling result was how people believed they had benefited in a more personal way.

They believed they had improved people and they were more confident, more motivated, better communicators, and developed new skills, particularly business and financial skills. This result has thrown new light on the business industry of Bangladesh.

However, the social scenario and demographic characteristics of the members, and distributors involved in MLM practices. I believe numerous other predictors may also be important as opportunities available, motivations for involvement, and the economic impact of such practices on lifestyle and the economy of Bangladesh as a whole.

The profitability and the market tests of MLM Company are encouraging for the potential and present investors and it is very attractive for newcomers who want to be launching an MLM business in Bangladesh.

I hope Network marketing and online marketing will be the future of trade and selling in Bangladesh and a great opportunity to take control of the financial future.
